    Default King of the Hill should be 1 round to 210!

    I love playing ranked King of the hill, I do. The only thing I hate is going against a full party (because I play by myself or with 1-2 friends) and having to deal with them for potentially 3 rounds. I'm definitely not complaining that the hammerburst and retro are in the game, I don't care either way, but I hate having to deal with them using it for 3 rounds. If I'm going to go against these kind of players that I don't like to play against, I don't think I should have to play with them for so long. I think one round up to 210 is perfect. You still play, but you don't have to stick it out for 20 minutes. It would be appreciated at least in ranked.

    Best out of 3 is the best method for determining a winner, many teams adjust after losing a round. A game mode shouldn't be shortened because you do not want to pay against a coordinated team, its not a valid reason, especially since a solution exists already. In this instance play quick, you can leave when you want. If you choose to play ranked, that's how it works.

    You'd be missing out of skunker points with 1 round.

    Yes and I like being matched up against new people and getting to choose my weapon skins based on what team I am. I also like starting games fresh and playing against better players. I just don't want to be playing against them for 3 rounds straight. It's boring and frustrating. It really drawn out. And no, the best method for determining a winner would be the score difference between the first 2 rounds. That, or one round. No one needs to play that long. We gotta keep things moving.

    I like how Zeta has it. Up to one. Like a gold medal olympic game, only one round.

    If you want one round, then play Zeta KOTH. It's great. I prefer best of 3, because I like longer matches though. I switch back and forth between Zeta and standard KOTH.

    No, the best method of determining a winner is winning a set of matches, not the difference between 2 rounds. A win is a win, point total is irrelevant as long as you finish in the lead. That's why competitive leagues do a best out of series. Score disparity is quite misleading a stat. That's why pro sports do it. Any team can win a fluke round, the better team can do it twice.As for no one needing to play that long, I disagree.

    Again, if you want out because you are having a hard time, do quick, or zeta koth. They both possess what you want. 1 round match or the ability to leave.

    Three rounds is clearly better, it's like saying have execution as one round, whoever wins first just wins? lol, people always come back from a loss.

    You just gave me the worst analogy I have ever heard of. 1 round of king is not even close to equivalent of 1 round of execution. The ratios aren't even the same; best of 9 and best of 2. Also, it's not "clearly" better, seeing as it's an opinion and you've barely went in depth whatsoever on why it's better. Up to 210, you still get 4-6 hills a game, unless it's total domination, in which, maybe it shouldn't be going on for 2 or 3 rounds. And yes, they come back from a loss, but that doesn't take away the fact that it gets drawn out for me and others. Sometimes they only come back from a loss depending on which side of the map they spawn on. Then the third round would be lopsided.

    I like the best of 3 format as it gives you a chance to adjust and more importantly for quick match time for the teams to fill up. If you get your squad full down 140 of the 210 then it'll likely be too late to find some cohesion and regroup. So I like the best of 3 regardless, but if they did 210 I think that would make sense more for ranked but not actually quickmatch.

    If you want to talk competitive, competitive plays one round to 210. Why? So it doesn't get boring, and because it IS a good way to determine a winner. You think if 3 rounds was better, they wouldn't do it? Obviously they would, but they don't. And no, a round on each spawn is better than three rounds because that third round, one of the teams is going to get the better spawn for the second time, therefore not determining a proper winner. In no case should it be three rounds, I would take one round to 210 (best), and less preferably, but still acceptable, 2 rounds with a tiebreaker based on score difference. If a team dominates one round, and barely loses the next, the should take the overall win for sure.

    If you want to get better than losing to better players shouldn't be a problem. And 3 rounds only means more time to improve. Also, weapon swaps.

    I agree that quick should be to 150 with 2 rounds and ranked should be 1 round to 210.

    No one needs to play the second round of Azura king. It's absolute bs. Nades, 2 snipes, hammer, and boomshot? like wtf? It's ridiculous. Horrible king map. And no, I can improve against a variety of players, I don't have to play the same one I dislike for 3 straight rounds.

    So, you play Gears for one 10-minute period at a time?

    One round sucks, because weapons never swap.

    No. I play Ranked Zeta all the time and get a match within 30 seconds.. The population is wrong.
    No... The Forums don't make much sense...

    People complain to use the search bar, and when people actually do they complain about bumping an old thread.

    No one needs to play that long in just ONE game. I play multiple games of 10 minutes or so (or I would like).

    TFC pickups are two 15-minute rounds for offense and defense currently. In its heyday, TFC clan matches were best-of-three aggregates with each round of 30 minutes. So it is definitely your opinion about how long games should last. I prefer a 30-minute KotH match to one that is over in 5 minutes because one team steamrolls the other. So, I mean I get what you are saying sometimes when an opposing team comes back and nips round two it produces a "sigh, I was ready to get off now I have to play another round" from me. That also means winning the third round in thrilling fashion is a lot more rewarding 10 minutes of playtime than the first round of another match that has 7 bots in server since everyone quit after the last match (QM in that case obviously).
